How old is the professor and1

During that time he grew close with another streetball legend, Larry "Bone Collector" Williams. A few years later, Williams was by Boucher's side when he put on a display that would open the next chapter of his basketball life.

They were booing and throwing things and had to get everything under control. Footage of the incident went viral. That same summer, another video involving The Professor did, too. This one was planned out in advance: Boucher donned a full-body Spider-Man costume and took on unsuspecting challengers at an outdoor court.

Though he didn't speak, the visual of a superhero embarrassing strangers showed off a side of Boucher that Williams said is the behind-the-scenes norm. For a while, he was editing most of his material based off a friend's Final Cut Pro pointers. But that was then.

Boucher's social media presence has since turned into a full-time business. He's hired two videographers and three editors in-house, and recently acquired an office space in Santa Clarita, California. Now when he ventures out looking for a game, or an unsuspecting one-on-one victim, there's a videographer around, too. Boucher insists he doesn't discuss anything with opponents beforehand, other than alerting them that they're going to be on camera if they want to face him. And he doesn't hold back against anyone.

I would say the last two or three years since my YouTube has really blown up, it's almost equal. I think with ESPN you've got a wider demographic, but as far as the number of times I get recognized on the daily, I'd say it's almost equal. He's got a five-year plan in place, and then, who knows?

Before the AND1 tryout, Boucher was about to take a job at a grocery store. When he was dead broke years later, he learned to edit video clips, and basketball saved him again.

Now he's a YouTube star. Whatever the next chapter brings, expect basketball to be the recurring theme. In the meantime, if you approach Boucher for a pickup game, do so at your own risk. The Achilles tendon is a band of thick, fibrous tissue that links the muscles in your calf to your heel. Making the NBA was going to be very, very tough.

This meant that each month he would receive a shipment of AND1-branded clothes and basketball equipment. Celebrities Athletes Actors Musicians Lists. He grew up in Oregon. He was 18 years old. Even Boucher rarely even competes there. And1 put out a contract, inviting him to go on tour. If signed, Boucher is not allowed to compete with NCAA, which does not allow students to receive money to play basketball.

I started my career at the age of 18 with And1 and thus gave up playing football in tournaments. For any baller, playing in the NBA is always a dream, a goal everyone wants to conquer. But the Professor has different thoughts.
